After 13 1/2 years at Jefferson Lab, Barry Moss hung up his hard hat on June 1 to pursue retirement and part-time safety consulting. The mechanical engineer began his Lab career in the engineering division.

He worked on the prototype cavities and cryomodules, as well as preparation and scheduling for cryomodule production. Later, he coordinated safety warden activities, provided input on tunnel construction, front-end testing, and accelerator equipment installation. Most recently the Certified Safety Professional was part of the Lab's safety team.

He was honored for his years of service during a party held in late May. Co-workers, department managers and associate directors were on hand to thank him for his many contributions and accomplishments over the years and to wish him well in retirement.

However, according to his wife, Mary Beth, he won't be spending a lot of time in a rocking chair! Barry will be cooking dinner from now on, to give her a break as she works full-time as a teacher. "He's been in training for the last several months - preparing one meal a week," she explained.

Moss received a Corinthian leather briefcase, to use as he begins safety consulting work, and a framed copy of the Lab's new poster signed by dozens of Lab staff - a testament to the number of people knowing Moss.

In addition to safety consulting and household chef duties, Moss is the incoming president of the Greater Tidewater Chapter of the American Society of Safety Engineers. It sounds like the Moss household will stay busy!

"We've enjoyed my years at the Lab," Moss said. "It's been fun and challenging. We feel blessed by the opportunities here and to have known so many wonderful people." His parting message, "Keep it safe guys."
